Duck dragging her tail

Pekins sure are sweet ducks.

I sure like them. I almost got rid of mine. But then recently when they started laying I started to really appreciate them again.

It would be interesting to find out if they can try to live with this condition, even if its not a perfect life.

Let us know how it goes.

I have a duck that is about 3 months old with a badly curved spine her wings are kinda funny looking too I dunno what happened I had to ducklings 1 I dound early in morning she wasn't walking so i separated her later on that day another one was on her back n couldn't get up so moved her she was seizing alot she can barely hold head up but I worked with her n the other one ..the 1st I found recovered after week she's completely normal but the other one I had to do everything for for about extra week then I put her. Back she was little slower n had a limp but was living but over time I noticed she tucked her tail under her and had poor balance..didn't have heart to put her down so I keep close eye she does pretty good but the other 3 ducks pick on her alot sometimes go out thier way to bully her ...she's mostly stands I hardly ever see her resting sitting down she can't preen much cause she falls over but her spine is definitely curved pretty bad but she's doing ok considering

You better treat for niacin deficiency right away. Also, if they have niacin deficiency... it can basically mean the feed you are using might be low in some of the other nutrients also. So you can try to adjust other parts. Although you don't want too much protein either.
